FAQ & Help

Who should I contact if I have questions about Overleaf or the Caltech license?

Please use our contact form and we'll make sure your question gets to the right person in our team. You can also direct Caltech-specific questions to Gail Clement, Head of Research Services at Caltech Library.

The first thing to try is updating your LaTeX packages, in case you're running older versions. We've tested the template on MikTeX 2.9 and TeX Live 2015 on our local computers, and the compilation went through without errors for both.

If that doesn't resolve the problem, please let us know your LaTeX distribution's versions and send us your .log file via our contact form and we'll take a look for you.
